I am getting following error while installing Adobe Acroread in Ubuntu 15.10:

You could certainly do the following:

sudo apt-get -f install

which might address the dpkg error:

 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

But it looks as if you are installing an Acrobat Reader deb package from Raring Ringtail on to your Wily Werewolf installation. Try the following, which I have tested on Trusty not Wily. First some required files (needed on 64bit systems):

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 libnspr4-0d:i386 lib32nss-mdns* libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libstdc++6:i386

as well as the gdebi installer:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

and then download and install the reader itself directly from the adobe website:

wget http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
sudo gdebi AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

This tested nicely on Trusty Tahr and I have no doubt will work on Wily:
